Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif approached Islamabad’s accountability court on Thursday for suspension of perpetual warrants issued against him. The court reserved decision on the petition after hearing arguments. Advocate Qazi Misbah appeared in Judge Muhammad Bashir’s court on Thursday morning and said that the Nawaz wished to face cases in court. He added that Nawaz is set to return to October 21 so the warrants should be suspended till October 24. National Accountability Bureau Prosecutor Sohail Arif told the court that he had no objection if the accused wanted to surrender in court. However, the judge remarked that the perpetual warrants were issued in October 2020 and asked Nawaz’s lawyers why he had not appeared in court since then. The lawyer replied that Nawaz had left the country on medical grounds and his petition was still pending in the Lahore High Court. The judge then reserved the decision on suspension of warrants to be announced later.
